Settling in nicely

Yesterday we had the big move. It went smoothly, probably mainly as we only had 3 suitcases to take and unpack! We met the owners, a large building company and sat with the Director for a bit, discussing through the contract- thank godness it was written in English! For me there was a bit of waiting around during the day as Chris started his new job and the contract was not to be signed until 5ish. So I did a bit of shopping in Debenhams of all places, to pick up some towels (we had packed them but had to abandon when we realised we had too much stuff.

The place is stunning, with the spectacular view, its large size and classy furnishings- I really cannot believe my luck. Its a great area too, being obviously by the sea and alongside a popular promenade with lots of lovely restaurants dotted about. We are in between the posh Tigne point which has the shopping centre (albeit as discussed ealier a so- so one) and the lively St Julians and so we are pretty happy about that. I am particularly happy about the main bathroom which is pretty swish, lovely tiling, his and her sinks and also the living room (again THAT view)

We had a lovely meal out that evening, a yummy pizza and a couple of drinks to celebrate the move.

The women in Malta are well groomed, usually dressed to the nines, slender and tanned and in comparison I feel very British!
The drivers are not very careful. The people are mostly friendly- I was told how lovely they are and how welcoming they are particularly of the British but I would not go that far!
